Monument record 805/0/44 - Possible Post Medieval Formal Garden
Please read our guidance about the use of Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The possible terrace and associated earthworks visible on aerial photographs to the east of the vicarage may represent a substantial garden which must post date the Tudor survey. Alternatively they may simply represent boundaries of crofts of deserted tenements. The area requires field examination.

Full Description
{1} Towards the eastern side of the village in the rear of the closes north of the main street there is what appears to be a large terraced garden, seen in surviving earthworks, in the close to the rear of tenements fronting the main street. Its date and significance is uncertain, but is not recognisable in either the 1548 rental or the 1716 map. Immediately to the east the causeway running from the farm across the floodplain clearly post dates the 1716 but is present in the 1880s.
